[FR] Allowing to hide the state of the first entity

[Nickduino]

Currently, the state of the first entity (whether it's the only one or there are several) cannot be hidden, it ignores the show_state: false parameter. Letting the user do this would allow us to declutter some dashboards when we want to look at the shape (and dynamic color) of a graph without the need for a precise value.

Here's a mock-up of the expected result:

Same picture may be achieved by

show:
  state: false

The problem appears only with several entities in a card. When a card contains only one entity - a state can be hidden easily.

That's true. Which makes the current behavior of show_state: false even more incomprehensible

Imho it can harm ONLY in case of several entities. In case of one entity - a “state” label can be hidden as it was shown.

Actually, if you do not to show a state for the 1st entity - just make this entity 2nd. Means - there is a simple workaround.

It's exactly what I did yesterday but:

1. It's still just a workaround and not the behavior a user expects
2. You cannot order the graphs the way you want, so you can't always change the order of the entities as seen in Choosing the layer of a line #1147
